These are two of the three Bastarnian names we know (we know no appellatives).

(Googling, I find Chl- only in the Gibbons footnote quote, Cl- everywhere else, so I'll assume Cl-)

Could they be the regularly Grimm-shifted relative of that Aestian word *gl-a-s- which was loaned into Germanic (thus no Grimm)
